A black woman says she was forced to strip down in front of Target security after being accused of shoplifting

Twenty-year-old Ashanae Davis was allegedly forced by Target employees to lift her shirt and pull down her pants after being accused of shoplifting a bathing suit.

Davis' lawyers claim she was racially profiled and plan to file a lawsuit against Target.

Target officials told NBC News one of the security guards in the incident has since been fired.

On May 22, Ashanae Davis was leaving a Detroit-area Target when a black security guard allegedly grabbed her by the arm, refused to let her to exit the store, and accused her of shoplifting.

According to Davis's lawyers, she was then handcuffed by another white security guard and dragged through the store. All the while, the security guard was shouting that Davis was "wearing a stolen bikini," loud enough for most customers and workers to overhear, according to the Huffington Post.

This shoplifter parading is a common Target practice nicknamed the "walk of shame" intended to deter people from stealing.

Jasmine Rand, one of Davis' lawyers who previously represented the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, told reporters at a press conference that when Davis was brought into the loss prevention room, the two male security guards called a woman manager into the room and proceeded to have Davis lift up her shit and pull down her pants.

No stolen bikini was found.

Maurice Davis, another attorney representing Ashanae Davis, said that eventually when Davis was allowed to leave, the black security guard apologized to her about the entire ordeal saying, "this isn't the first time this has happened."

But Rand claims this incident must have been racially motivated. "I would be very surprised if this has ever happened to a white woman at that Target location," she said.

"We want everyone who shops at Target to feel welcomed and respected and take any allegations of mistreatment seriously," the statement said. "We're sorry for the actions of our former team member, who created an experience we don't want any guest to have at Target. Upon reviewing our team's actions, we terminated the team member who was directly involved."

Davis and her lawyers plan take legal action against Target, but as of Tuesday, no lawsuit has yet to be filed.
